Hawks sank into his bed, thinking of nothing but where (Y/n) could have disappeared to. He was about to get into a panic but she burst through the door with a huge gift hamper in arms. "Oh u-um who's the lucky guy?" Something inside Hawks made his heart sink knowing that there may be some guy treating (Y/n) like her boyfriend. "There's no guy. It's from my parents. They work out of the country so whenever I'm due to have surgery soon they send little gifts before coming to visit me on the day."

"S-surgery?" Both (Y/n)'s and Hawks' mouths were agape. (Y/n) because she accidentally let it slip and Hawks because he wanted nothing more but to not see his friend get hurt. "(Y/n) you never told me why you are in the hospital."

(Y/n) walks past him and takes a seat on her bed, her gift basket next to her. "It's just a little heart problem. I get my surgery and then be all better okay," she says as she starts rummaging around inside her parent's gift, "Ooh facemasks. Let's use 'em."

"What?"

"Have you never used a facemask?" Hawks stares at her and shakes his head. (Y/n) happily laughs before picking two facemasks from her basket and going over to take a seat on Hawks' bed. "What do you prefer, kiwi or green tea?"

"They're both green. Just give me the one your not using." (Y/n) places the kiwi mask in his hand and then goes to get a headband to hold his hair out if his face. She released a chuckle as she put the headband on his head. "What?!"

"Nothing." It wasn't really nothing. (Y/n) just thought that Hawks looked like Coach Ukai from Haikyuu but she wouldn't tell him that. Instead she opens the facemask and starts to put it on his face. "Aaah!" Hawks jumps backwards, surprising (Y/n). "What happened?"

"It's cold."

"Yeah. That's how they are. Now stop fidgeting or I'll get it in your pretty eyes." (Y/n)'s face goes red realising what had just slipped out of her mouth. She did comment on his eyes before but not as bluntly as this. To try to cover up her comment she quickly goes back to putting the gel mask on his face. "(Y/n), can I ask you a question?" As Hawks talked she continued to put on his mask. "Yeah, go ahead."

"What did you mean by Hawks and doves are on the other sides of things?"

"Oh, well doves vs hawks is a political term used when there is a military conflict." Hawks stared blankly at her, not registering anything (Y/n) said. "You don't know what I'm talking about do you?"

"Not a clue." She laughs at him and finally finishes his mask before starting her own. "What happens now?"

"You wait." (Y/n) answers happily but Hawks just groans. "But that's so boring." He slumps down into his bed, folding his arms and pouting. "That frown isn't going to make it any better. If you're really bored just do something." This peaks his attention making the pro hero sit back up excitedly. "Ooh, like what?"

"Well what do you do in your free time?" This was a question Hawks didn't know how to answer. He dreaded the question. (Y/n) could have said anything else and he would have been fine with it but of course she asked about his free time.

In truth Hawks had no idea how to answer the question. He had never experienced the luxury of freedom. Time, maybe but freedom was entirely foreign to him. Someone always controlled him. Whether it was his father, mother or the hero commission, Hawks had never experienced to freedom, to truly do whatever he pleased. However there was no way in the world he would tell her that. "I dunno. What do you do?"

"Well. When I wasn't in the hospital I used to have movie nights with friends. We'd order take out and put on PJ's and watch our favourite movies all night. Sometimes we'd drink too but this was back when I had just turned 20 so I didn't drink that much. My parents would be away on business so we had the whole house to ourselves. We'd play games and laugh and dance around to music, basically mess around. Oh and-" (Y/n) stops dead in her tracks, realising she spent ages talking about herself and not focusing on putting on her gel facemask. "Sorry, I'll stop."

"No no. It's sounds fun. Let's do it."

"Really!?"

"As long as we order KFC!" Hawks excitedly jumps forward towards (Y/n), his eyes lit up like stars. "I don't know if we're allowed to order food to a hospital but there is no harm in trying." (Y/n) finishes off her mask while Hawks orders KFC from Just Eat. The food would arrive soon so the two had to beat the nurses to the front otherwise they'd never get, as Hawks calls it, the sweet taste of delicious chicken. "Hey (Y/n)-"

"mhm. What's up."

"You u-um have money right." (Y/n) turns to look at Hawks who's giving her a 'sorry but pleaseeee' kind of look. "Ugh how can I say no?" She hands Hawks her credit card which her parents kindly keep up to date, "Just don't make me bankrupt. My parents work hard for that money."

"Your parents? Do you not have a job?"

"I was going to get one. I had finished high school and was about to go to university so I would have had some sort of part time job but then I got thrown into a hospital. I went in and out for a while but then I was put in here indefinitely so that went out the window." (Y/n) was laughing however Hawks had a totally different expression. He felt bad that her life had been completely turned upside down. To him it wasn't fair. She worked hard to get where she wanted to be but now, thanks to some stupid heart condition, she's stuck in hospital. "I'm sorry that happened to you."

"Hey don't act like I'm dead yet." (Y/n) nudges him and smiles to lighten the mood but he was still a bit down, "How about a challenge?"

"What are you thinking?" She only smirks at him, refusing to answer his question. All of a sudden she grabs his hand and leads him out of the room running up down the corridor not caring about the facemasks still on their face for everyone to see. "(Y/n) Where are we going?"

"Don't worry about it!" Like many hospitals the building was extremely confusing with many twists and turns so Hawks was completely lost. (Y/n) abruptly stops in her tracks causing him to stop too. "Let's see how fast you really are." He stares at her as if she had more than a couple screws loose. "Umm what?"

(Y/n) smiles at Hawks and then points at two lone wheelchairs parked in front of them. "The food should be here soon. How about we have a race. We both sit in the wheelchairs and race downstairs to the front where we pick up the food." Hawks smirks mischievously at her "What do I get when I win?"

"If you win, which you won't, you can... " She put her finger on her chin, taking a moment to think before snapping her finger "have extra chicken." It wasn't the most creative of rewards but it was good enough for Hawks as he jumped into a wheelchair and sped off. "VICTORY IS MINE!" He shouted at the top of his lungs as he drove round the corner. (Y/n) was left at the start but soon got in her wheelchair and chased after him. "NOT IF I CAN HELP IT, BIRD BRAIN!"

All hospitals are very busy saving lives and helping people everyday and the hospital Hawks and (Y/n) were staying in was no different. (Y/n) turns the corner to find crowds of nurses, patients and doctors walking through the halls. Hawks was already weaving through the crowded hallways so she followed suit.

It didn't take long for Hawks to speed round the next corner but specifically the wrong corner. (Y/n) turns and goes the right way towards the elevator. "WRONG WAY SUCKER!" From there she had a straight path all the way to the elevator but was stopped by Hawks grabbing her wheelchair and pushing it sideways, making (Y/n) wobble and slow down.

Just before they got to the elevator but she grabs the handle of his wheelchair and pulls him back letting (Y/n) get to the elevator first. She frantically pressed the buttons as quick as she could trying to get the lift closed before Hawks could make it. "Come on dammit!"

The doors started to shut but Hawks puts he hand in the way manages to get inside. "Ha ha!" He sticks his tongue out at (Y/n) who pouts back at him. No that they were in a lift they had nowhere to run so the two sat waiting for the doors to open. Luckily for them it did but unfortunately on the wrong floor. A couple doctors and nurses entered the lift and stood in front of the pair as they continued their descent.

(Y/n) and Hawks look at each other almost bursting out laughing from the predicament they were in. They silently chuckled but stopped to put on a serious face when one of the doctors turned to look at them. Hawks innocently smiles while (Y/n) shrugs removing any suspicion from the doctor even though they had bright green face masks on. However their efforts was soon proven useless as the elevator door open and the two go back to their heated race.

"EVERYONE OUT OF MY WAY!" (Y/n) shouted surprising the hospital workers with her sudden outburst. "FUCKING MOVE! MOVE!" Hawks shouted joining in but (Y/n) was having none of it. "Watch your mouth these people are saving lives."

"Yeah but chicken's on the line here!" The two scoot past the doctors with (Y/n) a bit in front of Hawks. They speed down the halls almost tipping over as they skid round the corner.

(Y/n) accidentally drives right into the way of a patient being moved on a hospital bed forcing her to abruptly stop and swerve around them letting Hawks get in front. He puts all his energy in pushing his wheels as hard and quickly as he could. In terms of strength he had (Y/n) beat even though he wasn't the most muscular.

He smiles brightly as he turns the next corner and the front door comes into view. He was about to make it to the front when (Y/n) slams into his side making them race neck at neck. He pushes her wheelchair away from him but she hangs on trying to force him off course.

The closer they got to the door the more desperate they became to win. As a result they start fighting...

terribly.

The two flailed their arms at each other as if they were in a girl fight. To everyone in the hospital they looked ridiculous fighting each other in their wheelchairs while wearing their face masks they had totally forgotten about.

Hawks tickles (Y/n) distracting her letting him get to the door. "HELL YEAH! WHOO!" He raise his arms up high as he rolled out the door confirming his victory but that left him vulnerable enough for (Y/n) to gently push his chair forward with her foot making him move closer to the stairs. Hawks started panicking but soon stopped moving.

He turned to see (Y/n) holding the handle of his wheelchair. "I'm mean but not that mean," she smiles bright at him, "hey look food is here!"

Hawks immediately turned his attention to the delivery guy holding the KFC in his hands. Hawks sprints over and snatches the food almost bursting with excitement. "(Y/N)! HAWKS!" The two turn around to see a very angry nurse Akari behind them.

"RUN!" (Y/n) screamed.
